It may only be spring, but country radio is about to get a lot hotter with a brand new version of Blackjack Billy’s upcoming single, “The Booze Cruise” from Reviver Records. The country group is moving full steam ahead with their highly energetic new single. The feel-good anthem, available for download HERE, was officially released to country radio yesterday.
Due to the exposure on SiriusXM’s The Highway, “The Booze Cruise” has already become an underground indie hit. Just from airplay on the satellite radio powerhouse alone, “The Booze Cruise” has already exceeded sales over 300,000 units. Fans of the group might be familiar with the song, as it made an impact north of the border in Canada upon its original release, where it was certified platinum. The song was written by members Noll Billings and Jeff Coplan, along with Chuck Jones.
Blackjack Billy member Jeff Coplan feels that the track is perfect for this time of year. “This song is just a big ol’ party on the water. You can Booze Cruise out on a lake or right in your backyard with some buddies, some booze, tunes and a sprinkler.”
The band, which consists of Brad Cummings and Ian Munsick – along with Billings and Coplan – is currently in the studio working on their debut Reviver Records project. In addition, the country-rockers are adding dates to their concert schedule throughout the summer. Fans can stay in touch with Blackjack Billy through their website,BlackjackBilly.com .
